Stove Top Mexican Rice Pudding
Grandma's Rice Pudding is a stovetop version of an old-fashioned rice pudding recipe that is a Mexican Rice Pudding (Arroz on Leche), which is a thick, creamy, and sweet rice pudding that your whole family will love!
Ingredients
- 2 cups white rice
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups milk whole
- 1 (14-oz can) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12-oz can) evaporated milk
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ to ½ cup sugar (Adjust to preferred sweetness.)
- raisins optional for garnish
Instructions
- Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it until the water runs clear.
- Place the rice, the cinnamon stick, and the water in a large saucepan. Bring the rice to a boil over medium - high heat and cook it for 30 - 35 minutes until the rice is soft. Stir occasionally to keep the rice from sticking to the pan. Be careful not to break the rice by stirring it too much.
- Once it's soft, add the three different types of milk, vanilla, and sugar. Cook for another 15 minutes. You should see the mixture thicken.
- Remove from heat and let it sit until it thickens even more.
- Let cool and then refrigerate.
- Serve at room temperature or cold.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top, or you can add raisins as well.
Notes
- Note: Once you have added all three types of milk to the mixture, the longer you leave it boiling the thicker it will become.
